LOL... yea Adam is a class act. I've known the guy for 13 years now and I can honestly say he one of the most genuine people you will ever get to meet. Its a privilege to work for someone who you can tell so obviously cares about each and every one of his customers and shares their passion for cars and car detailing.

Anyone willing to pick up the phone themselves to help a customer gets a A+ in my book.. I had a issue with something, so I called and talked to Adam he spent a good 10-15min on the phone w/ me explaining what I could do to try and fix the problem.

Adam has earned my business for life, his products work, they smell good, and the man himself is involved in his operation! As long as I own clear coat - Adam's will be fixing and protecting my paint.

I have used Zaino for over 10 years now and love it. I had a black 95 Z28 that people thought had a new paint job but it had never been repainted. I dont think its hard to do the Zaino process, but the first time is a little time consuming, but I have to say its worth it. Also after the initial use its very easy to put some polish on the car and take it off. Now that I have the new Camaro I thought I might try something different and that is when I read on here about the Adams products and I watched some of A.J.s videos. That is when I noticed where A.J. is from (which is my hometown) so I hit him up with some questions. I wont go into a lot of detail but I will say that A.J. extended himself and his own products to me so I can see how well the Adams products work. If that is not brotherhood I dont know what is I still have yet to get over to A.J.s place but I did go ahead and order some products because I just like to try new things and thought this would be a good one to try. My products from Adams should be here the first of next week and then I will try to get in touch with A.J for a good time to be taught first hand by a professional I will come back with my comments after I use the Adams stuff on my IOM car.

You can still come over but leave your stuff at home. I have plenty for the both of us and you can try anything that Adam's makes first before you buy it. That goes for anyone here at Camaro5. My garage is open to anyone who wants to try the products first before you spend a dime.

I have used both. When I first got my Camaro I bought a bunch of Zaino stuff, it worked good but I really didn't know how to properly use it, plus I put alot of swirls in my car, and it seemed to gum up on me, not real sure why. The towels were very soft but left lint on my car, again probably from my inexperience, and improper washing of the towels.

Then I saw a post about how to maintain your Camaro's shine that Junkman posted. Of course being real skeptical it seemed too good to be true. Trying to decide if I should just pay a detailer to fix my car, I talked with Junkman and he assured me that if I used the techniques in the videos that my paint would becaome flawless. Not only did he reassure me of my success he explained to me how and why my car got that way in the first place, why fix it if you just tear it up again, so this knowledge was important. Of course then he told me that Adam had a 110% gaurantee, like it or refund 110% of your money including shipping etc... So really what did I have to lose.

So I ordered some stuff, and first tried it on my truck ( daily driver) rough shape, lots of swirls and scratches. I have only done one door and fender so far but I can honestly say that this stuff works as advertised and is easy to use, especially for a novice like me. I have NEVER detailed a car like this before, I thought I had , but I was fooling my self. My fender and door have NO swirls or scratches, absolutely none and the paint looks awesome.

I am sure Zaino will do the same thing and I am not knocking it, but I have had better success using Adam's polishes, my skeptisism is gone. It actually works just like they said it will, and remember novice is a grade above me, I got GREAT result from Adam's stuff.

I have also had several question concerning techniques, and other products that I am sure had been answered before many times, their forum and members are so gracious and always willing to help with any crazy question I have.

I had question about an order and the Warehouse folks completely made me feel like I was Bill Gates himself and I was buying a million dollars worth of product. The ordering staff helped me in ways that were unbelievable, never got short with me, and ALWAYS willing to help.

I even received an e-mail from the owner about a order I had. To say I am happy with Adam's polishes is an understatement.

I have always wanted to know how to do this, just never had anyone willing to show me how and with Junkman helping me out and Adam's polishes I can achieve the shine I want. JMHO

That's for you or anyone else who wants to come by. Just give me a call. I'll probably answer the phone as, "You got the Surgeon!" as that is who I am known as in my line of work (The PC Surgeon). So don't let that catch you off guard! I look forward to helping out as many folks here as I can with paint issues who are looking for a solution.

I actually use Adam's reversible PC pads and love them. But when it comes to show car quality polish, I personally believe nothing in this price range comes close to Zainos.

Want some proof? Here's my previous car after a SINGLE coat of Zaino. This G was 3 and a half years old as my daily driver when these pics were taken... on a black car that shows EVERY imperfection and swirl mark.





I've personally never used anything else that comes CLOSE to the gloss and durability of Zainos, even the few adam's polishes I've tried...

That proves nothing to me there Chief. Any old polish and wax will give a clear coat some gloss... Heck you can get a glossy finish from cheapo over the counter waxes from walmart. You need to fire a flash off into the clear coat to prove its swirl free.. And if you were using Zaino Z2/Z5 all you were doing was hiding imperfections, as those products are fillers.

Here's some proof of my perfect Adam's paint with a closeup of my swirl free clearcoat.

If you need some more shots of what you can do with Adam's - check what I did with this 2001 Prowler that was neglected for almost 3 years.

[Junkman2008]

Oh no you didn't break out the "fire the flash into the paint" test line! Where the heck did you get that from?

P.S. You forgot the line, "The light reveals all!"
